SCP-3652

Item #: SCP-3652

Object Class: Euclid

SCP-3652

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3652 is to be kept inside a metal box at all times and is to be monitored at least for an hour 3 times a week to ensure a containment breach does not occur. If SCP-3652 exhibits any unusual behaviour, security personnel are to be informed of what is going on with SCP-3652. SCP-3652's containment box is also to be kept inside a small chamber on a metal or brick pedestal with large windows on the left and right side of the chamber's walls for observation.

Description: SCP-3652 is a small, purple wad of putty that, unless stored in a metal box and monitored, will grow until it gets to a point in which it cannot grow anymore and creates crystallised substances that when touched, transmit an unknown pathogen through the skin. SCP-3652 can be made smaller by either setting a part of it on fire or cutting it. SCP-3652 can change colour, depending on how much it has grown. If it has grown to 35 centimetres, SCP-3652 will turn yellow and grow very small crystals, though these do not carry the pathogen. At its largest, SCP-3652 will turn back to its original purple colour.

+ Pathogen Infection Stages

Stage 1
The pathogen enters through pores and cuts in the skin when a subject touches the crystals of SCP-3652. Small bursts of pain reported an hour later after stage 1 starts.

Stage 2
The pathogen disables the immune system, making the subject prone to other infections. Small bursts of pain turn into chronic pain. Subject slowly turns purple.

Stage 3
Immense pain in limbs, head and abdomen. Subject may report that their abdomen feels like it will burst. Subject's skin turns more purple.

Stage 4
Subject bleeds from nose, skin is now a dark purple, like the wad of putty. Pain is now harder to handle than before.

Stage 5
Subject's abdomen starts opening up, then bursting. Putty pours out of subjects mouth, ears and nose. Eyes burst out of sockets, with purple putty flowing out of eye sockets around a minute later. The now burst abdomen grows a large crystal, which carries a faster and stronger version of the pathogen. Subject, at this point, must be taken to an incinerator room, with personnel wearing hazmat suits. Clean-up of the chamber is to happen after initial incineration of the corpse.
